Efficient Multi-Domain Bivariate Spectral Collocation Solution for MHD Laminar Natural Convection Flow from a Vertical Permeable Flat Plate with Uniform Surface Temperature and Thermal Radiation

摘要

A recently developed numerical method, multidomain quasilinearization, is applied on a steady laminar, natural convection boundary layer flow of MHD viscous and incompressible fluid from a vertical permeable flat plate with uniform temperature in this paper. Nondimensionless variables are used to transform the governing equations to a system of nondimensional nonlinear partial differential equations. Then the resulting equations are solved numerically by using multidomain quasilinearization method. The numerical results for tangential velocity, transverse velocity, and temperature, skin friction are calculated and shown in various tables and graphs.
